MILLET
MILLE T (Hebrews dohan; only in Ezekiel 4=>9), a small grain, the produce
of the Panicum miliaceum of botanists. It is universally cultivated in the
East as one of the smaller corn-grasses. This seed is the cenchros of the
Greeks. It is called in India warree, and by the Arabs dukhan, and is
extensively used for food, being often mixed with other grain. In this
country it is only used for feeding birds.
